>> jesse: how was the movie? >> geraldo: i loved the movie. it was really great to fly with all of them. and the movie was great. >> jesse: s that watt geraldo one more thing. >> judge jeanine: geraldo's news with geraldo. >> dana: thank you. >> geraldo: you really need me. they need to be grounded. >> bret: does geraldo need to keep going? >> jesse: no more shoutouts. >> bret: all right. thank you, guys. good evening, welcome to washington. i'm bret baier. breaking tonight, the house january 6th committee is set to hold its first hearing tonight in prime time two hours from now in hopes that millions will tune. in the house panel will make its case to the nation, hoping to remind people of what happened at the capitol riot that i can and what led up to it. and to try to convince the american public there are ongoing threats to democracy. critics of the committee, many republican leaders, point out that house speaker nancy pelosi hand picked the committee and while there are two republican

lawmakers seated, there is no real opposition, no pushback to question any of the conclusions or expand inquiry. over the next couple of weeks, we anticipate the unveiling of never before seen testimony, documents, video, audio from january 6th. even tonight we will see that whether that changes how people look at the event or how much it impacts politics going forward is yet to be seen. congressional correspondent chad pergram starts us off tonight live from capitol hill. good evening, chad. >> good evening, bret. the goal of the committee remind the public of what happened that day and warn people of threats to american democracy. tonight's hearing is a made for tv docudrama in prime time. >> tonight will be sort of an opening of the narration, the narrative of what happened as an assault on our democracy on our constitution, on our capitol, on our congress and in a very violent way. >> republicans anticipate something else. >> we can expect a circus.

the democrats have been shameless. the fact that they are bookerring this on prime time tells you everything you need to know. >> senate majority leader schumer called the hearing quote essential viewing. >> donald trump was at the heart of a coordinated effort to overturn the 2020 elections, to overturn our constitutional order and inflict permanent damage upon our democracy. >> the committee will play fresh videotape depositions from allies and family members. >> it wasn't just about that day. it wasn't just about that violence. it was about all the things that led up to it. >> but republicans contend the committee itself isn't valid. even though the house voted to create it. and awarded the panel subpoena power. g.o.p. members protest because pelosi nixed mccarthy's selections for the committee. >> it is the most political and least legitimate committee in american history. and let's be honest, it is a smoke screen for democrats to push their radical agenda. >> it's rare to schedule hearings in prime time, the last

such hearings came in 2015 probing veterans affairs. the committee wants to shed light on what happened between the election and january 6th. but republicans say there are other subjects more worthy of attention. >> they are not hosting a "primetime" hearing on the border crisis. they are not hosting a prime time hearing on the baby formula shortage or the inflation or the skyrocketing gas prices. >> only two witnesses tonight, a filmmaker who captured some of the initial violence and a capitol police officer who suffered a traumatic brain injury. more than 140 police officers sustained injuries during the riot. fox has told the committee could make recommendations to alter the electoral college or update the electoral counteract. it dictates how congress certifies the election. bret? >> bret: chad pergram live on the hill. chad, thank you. ryan kelly, one of five republican candidates for michigan governor has been charged with misdemeanors for his role in the january 6th capitol riot. he is accused of entering restricted space without permission according to the

criminal complaint he says he did not go inside the capitol. kelly was in western michigan today and awaits a court hearing. there was no immediate comment from kelly's campaign. house speaker nancy pelosi seems to be in no rush to pass legislation to protect federal judges this as president biden still has not made a public comment about the assassination attempt on supreme court justice brett kavanaugh. the man who was arrested saying he wanted to kill kavanaugh. correspondent david spunt has our report from the justice department. >> house speaker nancy pelosi unfazed when asked why the house won't do more to protect supreme court justices following the attempted murder of brett kavanaugh. >> nobody is in danger over the weekend because of our not having a bill. >> the nine justices currently have protection from supreme court police and the u.s. marshals. but a bipartisan bill that passed the senate calls for protection of the justices and

their family members. the bill is stalled in the house and it appears nothing will happen before the weekend. >> i'm very concerned. and i think it's time for us to pass the bill. [chanting] >> just hours after a armed man from california was arrested for attempting to kill supreme court justice brett kavanaugh, a group of pro-choice protesters marched by his home. the suspect, nicklaus roske will remain in federal custody after authorities say the 26-year-old man took a taxi to kavanaugh's maryland home armed with a glock pistol, a knife, zip ties, pepper spray and a crowbar. he called the authorities on himself saying he planneds to break in and kill the justice. he found kavanaugh's address online. >> what would have happened if he didn't call 911. he at any time just have a gun, he had zip ties. >> white house officials insist president biden condemns the kavanaugh suspects but the president himself has not spoken

directly about what happened after multiple opportunities with the press and three segments on jimmy kimmel live silence from the commander-in-chief. >> bret, the kavanaugh scare comes just days after a man entered the home of retired wisconsin judge john roamer and killed him. there is another bill to protect the privacy of federal judges across the country. that is also in limbo tonight. bret? >> bret: david spunt at the justice department. david, thanks. president biden is hosting latin american leaders at the summit in los angeles, the summit of the americas hoping to make progress on economic development and immigration and amid struggling poll numbers on those issues the president is turning his attention to the media. white house correspondent jacqui heinrich is traveling with the president in los angeles. good evening, jacqui. >> good evening to you, bret. there are 68 delegations present at this summit and 23 heads of state. and the white house has said it will produce deliverables on food insecurity, health and

covid climate, economic growth and migration. but so far the only big headline has been about which countries are absent and the president's gripes about the press. >> come on, guys, let's go. let's go. come on, guys. >> president biden taking no questions from the press after complaining last night about his media coverage. >> look how the press has changed. they have to get a number of clicks on nightly news. >> um-huh. >> so, instead of asking a question -- anyway, it just -- everything gets -- gets sensationalized. >> biden who hasn't interviewed with a journalist in the past 119 days and has no plans to hold a news conference on this trip has given fewer sit-downs in his presidency than president trump, obama, bush, clinton, george h.w. bush and reagan. day two of the mainly summit focused in large part on economic progress, the event hasn't produced new trade agreements despite the administration's growing efforts to counter china's influence.

>> those countries are desperate to do business with the americans. desperate to do business with american companies. and we are forcing them to go and deal with china and russia. >> and the white house has released few details on a regional migration agreement slated for biden is, however, keeping an eye on the january 6th hearings. >> and there's a lot of questions whose responsible, who's involved. i'm not going to make a judgment ton that but i want you to know we are probably going to be a lot of americans are going to be seeing for the first time. so detail that -- that occurred. >> now, a short while ago, a reporter shouted a question at president biden as he was leaving an event. they asked if he is concerned at all about the absences from several key countries. his answer was one word, no. bret? >> bret: jacqui heinrich, traveling with the president in los angeles, jacqui, thanks. stocks plummeted today in a broad technology led sell off

ahead of the may consumer price index tomorrow. the white house official telling fox news they expect a report to show a rise in inflation. in fact, the treasury secretary saying today she doesn't expect gas prices to drop any time soon. as you see there, the dow dropped 638, s&p 500 fell 98, the nasdaq lost 332. all right, let's bring in south carolina republican senator lindsey graham. he is a member of the senate judiciary committee. senator, thanks for being here. >> thank you very much. >> bret: i ask you about the january 6th committee and a couple other things. >> okay. >> bret: i want to start with the threat to brett kavanaugh. first of all, why can they not get this bill across the finish line? what is the deal with protecting justices and their families? >> i don't know. i think in some ways they feel that they would be siding against the protesters. that they agree with the protesters and they don't want to do anything that would be seen by the hard left as a rejection of their strategy. well, their strategy is going to lead to somebody getting killed because it's illegal to protest in front of a juror's home or

judge's home while they are trying to do their job for the obvious reasons. i would like garland to start putting these people in jail. you can protest all you want. but you shouldn't go to someone's home and intimidate the family. you are breathing a sense that there are no longer rules. >> bret: we can talk about press coverage and the fact it was buried in the "new york times" and had this been a trump supporter going after justice kagan it would have been different. the president hasn't said one word about it he was on kimmel last night. he talked about roe v. wade. take a listen. we think. >> the way it does and the stays impose the limitations they are talking about, it's going to cause a mini revolution. they will vote a lot of these folks out of office. >> bret: point being is that he talks about the roe v. wade decision coming down a mini revolution but has not acknowledged the threat that we just faced here in reality in

this area. >> so here's another reality. if mcconnell had gone to the supreme court and called out two liberal justices by name because he disagreed with what they were about to do on a particular case, and somebody on the right tried to kill a judge it would be on the front page of every newspaper in the country. i couldn't walk three feet in the hall on capitol hill without somebody sticking a mic in my face. not one reporter has asked me about what do you think about the idea somebody may have tried to kill judge kavanaugh last night? the double standard in the media is appalling and dangerous. and the president of the united states is missing an opportunity here to lead the country to a better way. >> bret: do you think one of the reasons is because it's the set up to the january 6th committee prime time event tonight? what do you make of that tonight? and what may or may not come from it? >> i think they don't really care what happens so much as long as the outcome is what they want. the vice president of the united states, harris, raised money for

rioters who beat cops in the head. they were more sympathetic to the rioters than the cops. they are sympathetic to the protesters. they understand what the protesters are trying to do, and they just won't call them out. somebody is going to get killed here. mr. president, listen, take this on. you will be better off for it and the country will be better off. nobody should be protesting in front of a judge's house to try to change a decision. >> bret: so when you hear somebody say that this was a massive effort, january 6th and before it, to spread false information, it led to this event on capitol hill, it was a threat to the democracy, and the peaceful transfer of power, what you said about it that day, and your concerns about it, and the look back at that, they say this is crucial for us as a country to look back at it that's how they portray it. >> sure. so after 9/11, we had a commission to find out how we failed as a nation. the commission didn't start until after the next election. it wasn't an effort to blame

president bush. he actually participated in it. this is an effort before the midterms to change the subject. the people who went into that capitol -- and i was there that day -- are being prude. that's great. we are all trying to work better together to make sure it doesn't happen again. this hearing is not about solutions. it's about trying to blame president trump in a fashion to change the outcome of the midterms. it's being done in a way it's never been done before. kevin mccarthy, the republican leader in the house, his nominees to the commission were rejected by the speaker bowers she didn't like them is partisan to the core. it will have no credibility with the public. and they are trying to change the subject and it won't work. >> bret: but the question is going to be asked again and again to republicans, do you believe, like donald trump believes, that the 2020 election was stolen? >> i accepted the 2020 election. i think there was shah containry in these states but i wasn't convinced there was massive fraud. i voted to certify election. we do need election reform.

there is clearly abuse in mail-in voting. that's not what this hearing is about. this hearing is about trying to blame president trump in a fashion to change the outcome of the midterms. if they were doing well as a party, they would be talking about their successes not about january 6th. this is the most transparent effort i have seen since i have been in politics to change the subject from failed policies to something every american has made up their mind about. >> bret: i will change the subject here to monday. we have a big event in boston. you are going to do a debate with senator bernie sanders. >> i can't wait. >> bret: the senate project. bipartisan effort to kind of really get substantive discussion. what do you think about that? why did you agree to it. >> i like bernie. we will see what capitalism and socialism looks like in a debate forum. we are not going to have a food fight but we will have real serious disagreements. you know, you do hour news every night. we will have a chance to spend an hour with a democrat and republican talking about what are the real problems facing the nation. what's your idea?

what's my idea? and can we up here in that building find some common ground. bernie is about as far as left as can you get and i think i'm a solid conservative. you may be surprised and i might be surprised there may be some common ground. we won't know until we talk. what is missing in politics is a chance to sit down and talk. >> bret: i look forward to it see new boston. the first debate between senators lindsey graham and bernie sanders streamed live exclusively on fox nation june 13th 12:00 p.m. eastern. available on demand afterwards on that platform. we will also air a special on fox news channel saturday june 18th 7:00 p.m. eastern time. you don't want to miss it. brigitte brink the new u.s. ambassador to ukraine sits down fox news exclusive as russia's brutal invasion drags on. >> the goal we have is to help ukraine defend itself and to deter against further russian aggression. ♪ ♪

>> bret: brigitte brink was recently unanimously to serve as ambassador to ukraine. tonight sheen speaks exclusively with fox news about the challenges faces ukraine and the

world. so images in his report may be disturbing. >> u.s. ambassador to ukraine brigitte brunk walks among the ruins outside of kyiv. 11 days ago she arrived in the ukrainian capital to oversee american interest and efforts to transfer u.s. supplies to the war torn country. >> we might not have been as fast as we would have wanted to be at the beginning. i understand that pipeline is now much faster and that from decision to provide weapons, supervision of those weapons to the front lines in many cases is actually within days. this is an issue though that i am focused in very much in terms of making sure that process is as fast as possible. it's very clear the fighting in the east and donbas area is very, very difficult. very close and very important and we need to make sure together with our allies and partners that we're giving ukraine what it needs as soon as possible when it needs it. >> will this level of support to

ukraine remain the same throughout the war? >> i hesitate to predict the future. but i can say that the president and secretary blinken and myself and everyone who is working on this issue is absolutely determined to stick to it to the end to help ukraine defend itself. because we believe national security interest for europe and for the united states. >> u.s. officials have been walking a delicate line trying not to provoke russian president vladimir putin according to recent reports. though with rising civilian casualties and losts in the eastern part of the country. pressure is increasing on the west to maintain a high level of support. >> are there any red lines for the united states in terms of the types of weapons used against military or civilian locations? um.

>> um. >>um that would change u.s. involvement in this war? >> it appears to me that unspeakable things have been done to a population that, again, is reminiscent of the last century and i'm talking about mass graves, apparent civil yaps who are found, bodies that are found with hands tied behind their backs and what appear to be bullet holes in their head, widespread reports of rape and torture of civilians. it's horrific and unimaginable today. it is imperative that these atrocities that people who have committed first and foremost we have to make sure not just we but the rest of the civilized world has to make sure that people are held to account. >> today in a separatist held area of eastern ukraine, two british nationals were sentenced to death for fighting alongside

the ukrainians. the event further raising the stakes for western countries that are directly or indirectly participating in this war. bret? >> bret: trey, not to be put you on the spot you have been there a long time and done amazing work on the ground. what do you take from recent weeks there just as a personal kind of assessment? >> the ukrainian people are incredibly resilient, bret, but they need support and they need continued support. right now they are fighting for the sovereignty of their country and if people forget about this story and change the channel and look at other things that are happening in the world and forget about ukraine, millions of innocent civilians are at risk. >> bret: interesting message. trey yingst, live in kyiv. thanks. up next, new concerns over the criminal past of some migrants within that massive caravan we have been telling you about making its way to the u.s. southern border. first, beyond our borders tonight, iran is removing 27

the massive migrant caravan heading towards the u.s. southern border is ballooning in size by the day we're told on the ground and there are fears that migrants with a criminal history are trying to cross the border. it comes during a recent spike in u.s. fentanyl-related overdoses as that opioid makes its way through the southern border frequently. we have fox team coverage tonight. dan springer is in seattle with how the trafficking of these drugs are expanding far beyond border states but first correspondent griff jenkins is la jolla on that caravan. griff? >> griff: the caravan has grown to more than 15,000 but nearly a week into the journey the harsh conditions have taken a tragic toll. >> unfortunately yesterday, a fellow migrant from venezuela passed away. organizer says she was a 52-year-old wheelchair bound woman with a health complications but for others, the march towards the u.s.

>> bret: apologize about that technical difficulty, here is a report from the border from dan springer. >> in the first three months of this year police in montana seized 12,000 opioid pills laced with deadly fentanyl. that's three times more than all of last year and even more than was seized in big sky country in the last four years combined. fentanyl deaths in the state hit a record 87 last year, a 112% increase over 2020. and it's gotten even worse this year. over an 11 day period in late may, there were 8 overdose deaths in seven different counties, fentanyl is suspected in each. the state's attorney general blames a porous southern border. >> i feel like i'm trying to treat a gunshot wound with a band-aid. we just -- we don't have the resources to keep up. these cartels are making so much

money and the biden administration has made it so easy for them to smuggle this poison across our southern border that we just can't keep up. >> native americans on reservations in montana have been hit particularly hard. but the problem is everywhere and growing. dea administrators is having these mass poisoning alerts being pushed out like el paso dea two weeks ago they had nine overdoses in a 24 hour period. >> country's second worst addiction problem is in oregon but instead of ramping up enforcement, the beaver state decriminalized hard drugs, including fentanyl. the result? devastating. a record 1,069 overdose deaths last year. streets of portland, in the street of hillsborough and around the state. that needs to be addressed immediately. >> back in montana, they are addressing it with more aggressive police work. fentanyl investigations have risen unbelievable 2,000 percent

in that state in the last two years. bret? >> bret: dan springer live in seattle, dan, thanks. the pga tour is suspending any current or future tour members who defect to the new liv golf league. pga tour commissioner jay monahan says he is responding position those listed in this week's liv field serge yes garcia saying they are no longer allowed to compete in tour sanctioned events. they did not say how long the suspension also be. let's bring in jim gray of fox sports. great to see you. this is a big deal between the pga battle pga tour and liv golf some resigned from the pga tour to play for big money in the saudi sponsored league, right? >> well, you hit the nail on the head with one word, money. it's all about money. they're offering purses and guarantees that is enormous that the pga does not offer and these

guys are taking the money and they're looking the other way with all of the human rights violations and where the money is coming from. so, it's a $25 million weekly purse. okay in the minimum guy gets $125,000. there is no cut. so they're guaranteed that to show up. plus these guarantees that johnson and mick and the others are procuring is all about the money, bret. >> bret: yeah. is it a threat like an existential threat to the pga and what about this suspension? what do you think how long that goes? >> well, i'm sure it will be challenged in court and there will be some antitrust challenge here probably very soon because these guys are independent contractors and they theoretically earn their way into these slots and they have won their card. so, it's going to be a long protracted battle and we are just starting. and, unfortunately, it just fractures the game is much. and it's not what the doctor ordered for golf. not a good development. >> bret: so they argue, as you know, jim, they argue it's

expanding the game of golf around the world. they say that it's making it faster. that it's 54 holes. there's no cut. the purses are bigger. it's attractive for players. it's a shotgun start so it's faster for everybody to watch. they don't have a tv outlet yet but it's on youtube. what's the comeback to that? >> >> well, it really doesn't grow the game. i spoke to jimmy dhown is one of the most well-known figures in all of golf. he is the chairman of seminole. he made a really interesting point. he said why aren't we celebrating the guys who have the integrity, the character, and the maturity, those who are stayed, john rahm, justin thomas, rory mcilroy, harold varner, tiger woods, why are we celebrating the guys who took the money and ran, the guys who defied their contracts with the pga tour and now signing up for something that they knew they shouldn't be doing and agreed not to do. and is he exactly right. so, yes, you have all of the

points you made. might golf need some reforms? yes, we are now in 2022. things probably should change from when the tour came back on board you know a century ago. in this fashion? this is just sports washing. we have seen it in boxing, race car driving. we have seen it in soccer. and now, now the saudis are trying to buy the entire sport of golf. it's not a tournament. it's the entire sport. so, yes, it's going to up end and there are things that are going to have to be sorted out. we are just at the beginning of this. it's really upsetting to a lot of people in golf because these guys who made great livings on the pga tour are now just saying forget the tradition. forget the history. forget what the records mean. give me the money. and no matter where the money comes from, i'm taking it. >> bret: yeah. i was just giving you the points of what liv golf said. last thing quickly about the

majors and being able to play in the majors, is there a determination there? >> well, they are going to be able to play in the u.s. open, us has said those guys qualified can come play. i'm sure it will be the same with the pga next year. the royal is not going to take them on. they don't want the lawsuit. augusta national don't have to answer any questions. it's invitational. they will see how it plays out 5, 6, 8 months from now and see where it is and they will make their determination who they invite and who they don't invite. mick, reed former champions supposed to have lifetime exemptions. they control the invites. >> bret: that is true. jim gray as always, thank you, sir. >> thank you, bret. >> bret: up next the panel on the january 6th public hearing and summit of the americas. first here is what some of our affiliates are covering tonight. fox 2 in honolulu a helicopter carrying six people crashed in a lava field on hawaii's big

>> tonight's hearings watershed moment to protect our democracy from the big lie of the hard right. the committee will lay bear the truth that the american people must know. >> we can expect a circus. the democrats have been shameless. the fact that they are peculiaring this on prime time tells you everything you need to know. >> this wasn't simply a protest gone awry. this was thoughtful, planning that went into strategically trying to overturn our democratic form of government.

>> bret: martha and i will be covering it on fox business. have coverage dip in here. the "new york times" has an op-ed by david brooks. the january 6th committee has already blown it we need a committee to locate the weaknesses in our democratic system and society and find ways to address them. the core problem here is not the minute neuro shah who texted what to mark meadows on january 6th last year. the core problem is millions of americans who have three convictions that the election was stolen, violent was justified to rectify it and norms that hold our society together don't matter. let's bring in our panel josh kraushaar. byron york cheel political correspondent washington examiner. , byron, your thoughts on tonight it seems like they have set the bar pretty high. they need to deliver something that tells this narrative. >> they have. first of all, we needed a

january 6th investigation so there should be a january 6th investigation. there still is more to learn. but it appears that democrats may have oversold this a bit. in the weeks leading up to this. they really played it up big. representative jamie raskin said the findings would blow the roof off the capitol. now we are hearing some unidentified committee sources saying well, don't expect anything too shocking or stunning tonight. look at that time it more as an opening argument. but i think what's important to remember here is what we don't see. we're going to see portions of interviews, maybe the thousand interviews that the committee has conducted. but we're not going to see them subjected to the adversarial process that we see in usual congressional hearings. usually you have republicans and democrats who disagree about something and they argue over material. in this case the two republicans on the committee were both appointed by speaker pelosi as

well as the seven democrats. and they appear to be in lock step. so that is going to give this hearing a completely different dynamic from what we normally see in a congressional hearing. >> bret: leslie, what about that? that there is no opposition essentially? there is no pushback that you would usually have a bipartisan committee conceding that there are two republican lawmakers on here but they are in lock step and also have been chosen by house speaker nancy pelosi. >> i would agree somewhat with what byron says. but if you think back to watergate, i think we are kind of doing this 50 years later in a sense. we are saying to the american people, at least this january 6th investigative committee is, these are your tax dollars. this is what we have found so far i think there are going to be many people horse's mouth testimony. it will be edited and they will see video. it's really essential especially in a time where there is

questioning about legitimacy of elections. and i think it is essential when you're talking about, you know, possibly subverting a free and fair election and the nation that is supposed to be the leader of freedom throughout the world with democracy and free and fair elections for the american people to see what they found thus far and to make up their mind for themselves. i think in a nation that screams for transparency, and for facts, i think it's essential. and i think everybody should, you know, watch it and come away with what they want. i don't think it's going to move the needle politically and i don't think it should but i think the american people deserve to know what truly happened and what the findings have been is thus far. >> bret: yeah, i think will is also a question whether or not this inquiry goes down the roads that republicans want it to go down and that's why the security was lax? why what were the decisions made there and will that be part of the expanded inquiry? also republicans, josh, point to the dichotomy of these

soundbites. first is donald trump on that day, the president at the time on the mall january 6th. >> we are going to walk down pennsylvania avenue -- i love pennsylvania avenue. and we are going to the capitol. we are going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country. >> bret: and then they juxtapose that with this soundbite and the events of the past couple of days. chuck schumer. >> i want to tell you, gorsuch, i want to tell you, kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. you won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions. >> bret: the senate majority leader on the steps of the supreme court and obviously a man that was arrested for threatening to kill brett kavanaugh outside his home.

the coverage of that has been diminished. in contrast to the january 6th hearings. i know it's complex, but that's what they say. look at those two things. >> look, bret, the extremism is a challenge on all sides and there has been some recent polls showinged that the number of republicans and democrats alike supporting violence, if they don't get their way is at near historic levels. this is a phenomenon that's very troublesome and the threats, the violent suspect that came to brett kavanaugh's house with a gun and weaponry and extremely disturbing and shows how hot a citizen der box we have in this country. i think what the democrats are run up to january 6th. i don't believe it's going to move the political needle. i agree with both byron and leslie. if this is successful, it's not just going to be about

january 6th. it's going to be about some of the testimony that former trump officials that you can about that shows this wasn't just organic but preplanned. that was a whole lot of activity going on at the highest levels trying to prepare for a moment to overturn the 2020 election. >> bret: yeah. we will cover it all. all aspects of it. we will also cover everything dealing with this guy with brett kavanaugh. panel, thank you so much. ♪? just over an hour, join martha mccallum and me live for special coverage of the first "primetime" hearing from the house select committee investigating the january 6th capitol right. we will be live on fox business network from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. that coverage is also available on all broadcasts affiliates; in other words, we are providing that feed and it will be live streamed on foxnews.com and fox nation as well no. restrictions or pay walls. so you can check it out there. tucker, sean, and lara will be on at their regular times and we will be dipping in, we're told, to the hearing as well.
